Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 565

Chapter 565: Doesn’t Seem Like a Good Person

Selina’s identity had already been made public, so naturally, she no longer needed to sit among the contestants.

She sat down beside Logan as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Who said Country M didn’t have perfumers?

Wasn’t Piper, the one honored as a distinguished guest by the Country Y royal family, a perfumer from Country M?

...

When the competition ended and the results were announced, Selina and Logan quietly slipped away.

It had begun to rain outside. Selina lowered her head, glanced at the investigation results Justin had sent over, and let out a mocking laugh.

"Ronald really knows how to make use of everything. Just because he found a USB drive, he’s practically leeching off me. How does that brain of his even work?"

Logan asked calmly, "Do you suspect Ronald has someone else behind him?"

Selina only raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.

Logan didn’t argue but added, "Ronald has been very close with the Country Y princess."

The first person Selina thought of was also her. "But I don’t know the princess of Country Y. We’ve never even met. She doesn’t seem to have a reason to target me. Maybe..."

Selina thought perhaps it was simply because Ronald had seen that USB drive and thought there was profit to be made—after all, he had been her subordinate once.

Just then, Selina received a message, and her brows arched.

"The princess of Country Y contacted the SL Group’s director over there. She wants to apologize to me. She says she was deceived by Ronald as well."

After all, Ronald had become the chief perfumer on the princess’s recommendation. But it turned out all of his work had been plagiarized, which meant the princess, as the recommender, also had to bear responsibility.

What Selina hadn’t expected was just how quickly the princess reacted. She publicly apologized in Country Y’s media and even promised that the position of chief perfumer would always remain reserved for Piper.

This move completely cleared her of shielding a plagiarist, while also earning her plenty of goodwill.

Selina smirked faintly. "The princess really knows how to play the game."

Logan picked up on the undertone in her words. "You don’t like her?"

"It’s not about like or dislike." Selina shook her head. "It’s just... strange. I’m very good at reading people. Even though I haven’t met the princess yet, I can’t help but feel..."

She looked at the phone screen where the "princess apology video" was playing and curled her lips. "Deep down, I don’t think she’s a good person."

Then she turned to Logan. "Mr. Reid, you don’t think I’m being petty, do you?"

Logan’s lips curved with amusement. "Of course not. I trust your judgment."

Selina perked up. "You’ve met the princess?"

Otherwise, why would Logan believe her so readily?

But to her surprise, the man shook his head. "No, I haven’t met her. I’ve only heard about her. The princess in Country Y has countless praises to her name. A person who only has good things said about them, without a single flaw—now that is hypocrisy."

This time it was Selina’s turn to be shocked.

She knew Logan wasn’t that kind of man. Who said there were no genuinely good people in this world? But to him, the princess being portrayed as a "purely good person" was itself hypocrisy.

Why? Was it because she came from royalty?

Logan shifted the subject. "It’s raining. Should we head home now, or wait a while?"

Selina touched her stomach. "I don’t feel like going home. Let’s go eat somewhere else."

Logan had been thinking the same. "Alright."
